Chapter 785
We asked Rahle the reason
Apparently, Rahle had been thinking about my idea regarding the post horses.
After becoming Tilura’s familiar, Rahle had started to carry humans. And it was wondering if other monsters could do the same.
And so it had wanted to ask the Cockatrices, but they all ran away after sensing the presence of a Silver Fenrir.
With no choice, Rahle had taken these two small ones that had been left behind.
That was not a very nice thing to do. And Tilura scolded Rahle.
She was very sympathetic, as the young Cockatrices looked very scared.
Regardless, with Leo’s presence and with Rahle here, it seemed like all of the monsters were now avoiding coming out of the forest.
Though, there were some like orcs, who moved based on instincts. But they were hunted down by other monsters or by Rahle. So it was much safer these days.
Rahle had been gone for several days, because it was searching for the Cockatrices… It had been harder, because of Leo’s visit to Ractos, which meant the presence was closer. But I kept that part to myself.“I see… Cockatrices instead of horses. I haven’t talked to the fenrirs yet, so I don’t know if it is even possible…”
“Rahle says it won’t feel as useful if there are too many fenrirs!”
“Kii…”
“Well, including Sherry, they will all be fenrirs outside of Rahle.”
Rahle would be the only bird-type monster, and the others would be beasts that walked on four legs. Apparently, Rahle would feel left out.
“So they are not for food…”
Sebastian sounded disappointed. But the cockatrice chicks shuddered.
So, perhaps they could understand us, just like Rahle and the fenrirs.
Though, we would still have to ask Liza or Leo to translate what they were saying…
“Still, if people get used to being carried through the sky…traveling by horse will feel very slow.”
“If it is realized, yes.”
You could easily go over mountains and forests without anything getting in your way. It didn’t matter if there were paved roads or not.
Also…
Tilura tried to suggest that Rahle take them back. But Rahle said that the parents had already run away, and were unlikely to return.
Besides, they may no longer recognize them as their children anymore.
Were birds really so quick to forget?
Though, I had heard of similar things happening with birds that lived near humans. Something about not recognizing their chicks after humans have touched them and changed their smell.
“Anyway, are you sure they would even be able to carry people?”
“Kii? Kii-kii.”
“Rahle doesn’t know.”
“…Well, they would be large enough to do it. However, I am not sure if they are strong enough to fly like that.”
“So they have the size, but perhaps not the strength…”
Obviously, carrying a rider would require a lot of energy.
Most monsters would not be able to carry an extra hundred kilos and fly.
We would not know until we could test it with adult Cockatrices. But the ones in front of us were the size of pigeons.
“Kii…kii!”
“Pi!?”
“Pi-pi-pi!”
“Uhhh… I think I understand what Rahle said, but…”
“Oh, you can understand it, Mr. Takumi? That’s amazing!”
“No, it’s just this time. Judging by the way things have been going…”
